Last evening His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain — the man who loves Elephants — was sent back to San José University Hospital for hip surgery… again. According to the royal court of Spain, the old king, “… was operated on this evening for a dislocated right hip which he suffered in the afternoon as a result of a wrong movement…”

Apparently, the old king is “recovering well” and will remain in the hospital until tomorrow.
